Why does this Sky Duel game look familiar? #SepTandy #SepTandy2012 http://youtube.com/watch?v=NhNxXAyg7DI&feature=youtu.be https://re-enthused.com/toys/why-does-this-sky-duel-game-look-familiar/

I unimpressively missed #sepTandy, and so am belatedly posting this (with my head hung low). For shame...

Testing sea dragon on TRS80 for an upcoming event. Late #SepTandy

I picked up a TRS80 Model II with two external drive enclosures last week. Can I get it to boot before the end of #SepTandy ? (youtube short) https://youtube.com/shorts/XqUWaLYOBa8?feature=share

My final #Septandy 2025 stream is starting now! I'll be playing more games for the TRS-80 Color Computer.

Friend and fellow #FujiNet hacker @fozztexx turned a #TRS80CoCo into an OSC (Open Sound Control) instrument via #FujiNet for #SepTandy!

New #Insentricity post: Using a #FujiNet as a pseudo "#MIDI" controller to send #OSC messages to a #TRS80 CoCo 2! It was great being inspired to do something with my CoCo 2 and get it off the shelf. Learned a lot about the internals and it wasn't what I expected at all. Already have more idea brewing based on my discoveries!

For #Septandy I tracked down an old Radio Shack Armatron 🤖
One of my favorite 80s memories. And yes, I had to repair it before I could play!

Now with multi-voice polyphonic! #CoCo #FujiNet #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

I did it! I did it! I managed to make the note last as long as you hold down the key! This was NOT easy. *Everything* is controlled by the two PIAs and they are most definitely PIAs! 😉 The documentation I can find is very poor and it took a lot of trial and error. I’m not sure there’s anything I can do about the clicking because sound and serial go through the same PIA! Have to abruptly shut off sound to use serial. #CoCo #FujiNet #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

My third #Septandy stream is starting now, once again playing games for the #Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer (via emulation.) Today I'll be looking into the Pitfall games with both an unauthorized clone and an official port, and starting a new text adventure.

At last, I can see when the CD pin goes high! I get 0xB4 when the CD pin goes high, the 0x34 is after I clear the flag. I can't read the state of the pin directly, only that it transitioned from low to high. Or configure to flag high to low. I suppose in theory I could flip the edge event when I clear it and track it that way, but meh.

The lack of understandable documentation for the #CoCo drives me crazy!

Today’s challenge: is there a way I can see when the CD pin is asserted? So far, nope. #FujiNet #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

I got it working! Now I can use the iPad as a pseudo “#MIDI” controller through #OSC via #FujiNet and play music on my CoCo! #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Starting my make-up stream (since I missed my usual one on Wednesday at 7pm) now. I'll be continuing to stream games for the #Tandy #TRS-80 #ColorComputer (my first childhood game system) for #Septandy

I also learned it's possible to use gdb to debug 6809 assembly through Xroar! #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

I can play a sound from my C program! Took the entire day but I figured out how to call the BASIC PLAY command. #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Today's challenge is to get some kind of sound working. I've been searching since yesterday trying to figure out how to play sound from assembly. I thought I'd be able to find a document that tells me the entry points into the BASIC routines for SOUND or PLAY, but so far nothing. Been digging through old magazine articles and a few books I found online. It seems like nobody cared about anything except BASIC. #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

I know it’s been a while since my last update. Well, here’s where things are now. Using the #FujiNet I can run my program and have it listen on a socket. Then I use an #OpenSoundControl #OSC app on my iPad to act like a piano keyboard and send it messages. No sound yet, but I’m getting messages! #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

And at last, some music! That only took all day to enter. When playing the samples that came with it, it sounded a lot like an electric organ so I had to put in something recognizable that used an organ. #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

My first #Septandy stream is starting now! Today, I'm returning (via emulation) to the first computer I ever owned, the Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer.

Managed to get it typed in! Just kidding, I did a lot more searching and found another disk image that already had it. #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Happy #SepTandy !

Unfortunately, it seems the conversion from tape to disk that somebody did has mangled the programs. I may be typing in after all.

The listing for the program I wanted doesn't run and shows BASIC statements that have to do with graphics. Those weren't in the listing in the magazine.

#SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Ok, got #FujiNet going, put all of the Rainbow on Tape/Rainbow on Disk on my TNFS server and found the right "tape". The "menu" lists the article I'm looking for. #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Maybe I don't need to type! @NF6X pointed me to "Rainbow on Tape" and "Rainbow on Disk". I see the colorcomputerarchive.com has both! Guess I need to hookup my #FujiNet and see if the disk already has the program!

Why have I not yet setup that "crowdsourced OCR" web site that I dreamt about last time I needed to type in a listing. #SepTandy #RadioShack #TRS80 #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Today's project: typing in a program from Rainbow Magazine June 1984. I'm not entirely sure this program does what I'm interested in or not. No doubt I will get the whole thing typed in and debugged and be disappointed with it. Just like the old days. 😉

Okay, one of the few good things about getting older is (supposedly) not being able to hear the 15KHz whine from old monitors anymore.

My new-to-me Tandy CM-5 CGA/TGA monitor is indicating that my ears are younger than the rest of my body. Not as loud as in my youth, but still annoying.

Imagine how cool it would be to do something similar to the #GlobalTalk stuff but instead with AprilApples/Appril2, SEPtandy and DOScember.

I don’t know how possible it would be to have a bunch of Apple IIs connected through the internet, or a bunch of Tandys or DOS machines doing the same thing but it seems like it would be fun and cool challenge to try
